Name/nickname: KaylaCountry: USWhen/how did you become a KPop fan: Late 2007 with Suju and SNSD bringing me in ;PFavourite KPop song(s): ITNW - SNSD, Loner - Outsider, Fan - Epik High, the list goes on and on Favourite KPop artist(s) / group(s): SNSD is my main but I listen/like every group. Doesn't necessarily mean I know each name though lolReason why you like KPop: I have no earthly idea why lol I just do. Maybe it's the pop feel or the soothing voices, the fact that it's in another language? But yea love it anyways

Name/nickname: lollipopgirl/Pops/lolliCountry: AustraliaWhen/how did you become a KPop fan: 2007 when WG released Tell Me. I was originally scared of them coz of the dance, but I would listen to their album on repeat for hours, as long as I didn't have to see the scary dance! Favourite KPop song(s): Change way too muchFavourite KPop artist(s) / group(s): Wonder Girls, SNSD, KARA, Big Bang, 2pm, SHINee, & to save space, pretty much any girl group Reason why you like KPop: Sooo many hot girls & guys!!! Honestly though, I'm first & foremost here for the music, which caters to sooo much of what I have always liked! The hottest is a bonus that helps though I even find Kpop so much more accessible than Western music, it just all fits to me

Name/nickname: Kurosawa87 or KuroCountry: U.S.When/how did you become a KPop fan: Kuno_Thunder sent me the vid to "Chocolate Love" and instantly became hooked although I didn't admit to it until later Favourite KPop song(s): GeeFavourite KPop artist(s) / group(s): SNSD and WonderGirlsReason why you like KPop: It is like how I liked J-pop, catchy tunes without the knowing the lyrics

Name/nickname: NaomiCountry: United StatesWhen/how did you become a KPop fan: To be honest, I'm really not a fan of K-pop, only a select few artists. But I started getting into some K-pop groups in about summer 2007 with SNSD, but didn't pay attention to other K-pop groups until about 2008/2009.Favourite KPop song(s): Atlantis Princess (BoA), Destiny (SNSD), Let It Go (KARA), I Won't Give (4minute), Love Like This (SS501). Most SNSD/KARA/4minute songs, really. :3Favourite KPop artist(s) / group(s): BoA, So Nyuh Shi Dae, KARA, 4minute, SS501Reason why you like KPop: Good songs. I'm more of a J-pop fan, but there are several things I prefer about K-pop. What I like is that they put so much effort into their performances. There's so many different outfits and themes. There's a lot of different collaborations, too, like having a group perform another group's song or having two different groups perform something together. Or even having various boyband members singing songs like So Hot. And I like that a lot of the artists tend to be better singers/dancers than most J-pop acts. They just seem to put more effort into these things.

Name/nickname: Vee, Ban, °eCountry: USAWhen/how did you become a KPop fan: Got my first taste of it in the early 00's but fully got into it in 2006 when I discovered DBSK and Shinhwa. I was looking for some guy groups to get into because jpop guy groups not cute. Favourite KPop song(s): T-ara's Absolute First Album and every big kpop single that came out in the last few yearsFavourite KPop artist(s) / group(s): T-ara!! and every girl group that came out in the last few yearsReason why you like KPop: their idol pop is better than jpop's (of course, the only idol jpop I listen to is H!P anyway but I love other J-music) and as Naomi mentioned there's a lot of effort put into their songs and performances that's a bit lacking in jpop. Also, I like the interaction between groups whether from different companies or gender. There isn't any rivalries and everyone gets along. And I love seeing groups/members on variety shows where their personalities really shine.

Name/nickname: Kimuuu/KimCountry: USAWhen/how did you become a KPop fan: I really started seeking out more KPOP when I first heard Wrong/Lost Number by Big Bang off of my bro's iPod. That song sounded so epic and cool to me.Favourite KPop song(s): Not sure if I have an all time fave, but current faves would be Bo Peep (T-ara), Easy to You / Man Man Ni whatever (U-KISS), Talk To Me (U-KISS), Tasty Love (KARA), Like the First Time (T-ara). I'm gonna stop there cuz more songs keep popping up and I'd end up listing damn near everything by everyone.Favourite KPop artist(s) / group(s): Big Bang, f(x), 2NE1, SNSD, KARA, T-ara, 2PM, U-KISSReason why you like KPop: Catchy danceable songs.

I mean there isnt much more than the fact that, they mix, hip hop and pop very well... and its just a great combo, and the voices are mostly <3

Of course I still love all my past favorites, but these are my tops atm..

Reason why you like KPop: Watching a music industry grow and change almost every year is really interesting, not to mention they way the media handles the idols, i.e., perfs, variety shows, cms, etc. Also, it's become really catchy these days!

What other reason is there?

Name/nickname: boykunCountry: USAWhen/how did you become a KPop fan: Not much of a fan but I was into Kpop before Jpop, circa 2003 or so, as influenced by people. Also BoA, and looking at Fin.K.L but not actually knowing any of their songs.Favourite KPop song(s): BoA - No.1, Milky Way; S.E.S - Dreams Come True; probably othersFavourite KPop artist(s) / group(s): BoA, Kara, Humming Urban Stereo, Clazziquai, CaskerReason why you like KPop: I like older Kpop. Present Kpop is catchy and whatnot, but its just not the same. Now mostly for hawt bitches awww yeahh.

Name/nickname: limitCountry: USAWhen/how did you become a KPop fan: I was a fan back in the later years of Baby VOX but Morning Musume kinda forced that part of me to stay dormant till the middle of 09Favourite KPop song(s): KARA - Lupin, Mister, Tasty LoveT-ara - Bo Peep Bo Peep, Bye Bye, Wanna Play?, I'm Really HurtAfter School - Because of You, AMOLED (w/ Son Dambi)SNSD - Gee, Genie, Oh!Favourite KPop artist(s) / group(s): KARA, T-ara, After School, SNSDReason why you like KPop:

Watching a music industry grow and change almost every year is really interesting, not to mention they way the media handles the idols, i.e., perfs, variety shows, cms, etc. Also, it's become really catchy these days!

Also a big thing is the interactivity between all the groups, male and female. Idol Army? Invincible Youth? Season 2 of Family Outing? All the Special Stages of groups covering other groups songs or having select members of each group to perform? All of this is a bit uncommon but still common enough for me to keep me happy...and more so than the jpop side, IMO.

Aside from being in the same building, would we ever see Morning Musume collaborate with AKB48 in anyway? I highly doubt it. The closest thing we can get is mflo loves ____.

And it's considerably cheaper to support a kpop group as opposed to MM.
